Dr. Fauci and the Covid Rule of Experts

Anthony Fauci announced on Monday that he will step down from his National Institutes of Health leadership posts in December, and the fact that this is a major news story suggests the problem with his tenure. He became the main symbol of the rule by experts who imposed lockdowns on America and brooked no scientific debate on Covid.

Dr. Fauci has led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, and his personal research contributions are impressive. He first became known to the public during the early years of the AIDS epidemic, and his agency was an early backer of the mRNA technology that became the platform for two Covid vaccines.

I prefer to refer to experts as ex-spurts.

Whenever I hear the word “expert” these days, I think of Karl Hungus (reference the “Logjamming” video short in The Big Lewbowski).

Thank you! I will proudly display that on my wall, LOL.

Yep, at this point even if one has decades of experience it is a detriment to call oneself an “expert”...I’m sure plenty of people on FR who know any given subject inside and out would probably agree.

I, for one, hold Dr Fauxi personally responsible for the thousands of US deaths due to the China virus. He should be in prison for the rest of his life.

"...his personal research contributions are impressive.

Impressive indeed!.... Mengele, Locusta, Shoko Asahara, Michael Swango all put together could never equal him.

You would think that Fauci killing 30,000 AIDS patients in the 1980s with the administration of AZT—and his INSISTENCE that it was the ONLY treatment for AIDS—would have clued people in.

Unfortunately, it did not and now here we are again with the drug Remdesivir, which, once again, Fauci and his pals have made billions off of while tens of thousands. That doesn't even include how much money he's making off these vaccines and how many people will ultimately die from them. HIS NAME IS ON THE PATENTS. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
